The Rental Process

You might be pleasantly surprised to uncover how many properties are available at your destination. With such a big selection, renters are sure to select a property that meets their wishes and spending plan.

The vast majority of rental properties in Southport are privately operated and many are represented by experienced local property management companies. For property owners not directly involved with the management of their properties, management companies are critical in assisting vacationers with booking, check-in, housekeeping, and any repairs and maintenance problems that may occur.

We've put together a short guide to assist you in getting most from your rental experience.

Finding and booking the right rental home:

Before you start to book "No Egrets- Great Marsh Views!!", examine our short list of considerations.

Search Early and Often

Southport vacation homes start booking early. To assure the best choice of properties, we suggest searching and reserving your Southport getaway 6-Twelve months in advance, whenever feasible. A lot of groups prefer to begin their search during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve holiday gatherings.

Find your Spot and Determine Dates

Sometimes, the most challenging part of planning your trip is deciding on where to search, and when. When the big decisions are tackled, the rest becomes much easier.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

Confirm who is joining, and just how many/what kind of bedroom arrangement you should have. Bear in mind that many properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the home's living room. You will need to figure out what is acceptable for the family. Most vacation home listings will describe each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and beds.

Determine Your Budget

Make certain "No Egrets- Great Marsh Views!!" satisfies your budget *during your desired week*. Make sure you get cost-sharing commitments from friends and family prior to booking a costly vacation property. Normally, just one member of the group will be liable for making the whole reservation and getting each party's contribution.

Let's Discuss Amenities

What amenities is the family looking for? Do you want a vacation property with open-air kitchen? Does the property need to be beach front, in the downtown area, or in close proximity to night life? Does the rental have bicycles and beach toys for use as part of your stay? Build a list of priority conveniences to help filter your search.

Accessability

Elderly guests will appreciate you for not renting a stairs-only condominium on the Third floor. If wheel chair access, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized devices are needed, factor that into your search. The majority of vacation home listings will include a list of amenities.

Your Dog Deserves a Holiday, Too

Remember to include your furry family members. Pets are welcome at many vacation rentals, but guidelines can vary. Type of pet, size and breeds can be controlled. Study your contract carefully! Additional fees or deposits may be applied to your contract.

Start the Search

. In addition to Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "Southport local rentals" for local vacation rental management companies. Local vacation rental management companies take pride in a top-quality rental experience.

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to be sure the home has everything required. If it is lacking, the property management company may know of comparable properties that fit your desires and budget..

While not true for all rental homes, many owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If they are unwilling to budge on a highly-desirable stay, try getting an extra night. Your easiest possibility of a reduced rate is changing to a less desirable week.

Study the Agreement

You will want to know which services are included:

• Utilities
• Internet
• Long Distance Calls
• Hot Tub Heating
• Cable and pay-per-view TV
• Cleaning Fees
• Trash Pickup (and which day?)
• Maintenance policies

Do you know the Cancellation Policy?

Cancellation policies are different with each vacation rental. Many rental contracts include an option for trip insurance. Trip insurance, which frequently costs ranges from 1% - 5% of your base rental rate, provides guests with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental property costs) for any days missed as a result of personal health-related emergencies or weather, and additionally hurricane evacuation costs, such as a unforeseen motel stay or additional gas.

Reserve your Vacation Property

Once you feel you've identified "the one", start the booking process. You will likely be asked to submit a security deposit at time of reservation.

Keep Your Contact's Information

Put the rental manager's contact information into your phone and wallet for quick access to answers throughout your trip.

During your Stay

• Record the condition of the rental property right away. Contact the property manager right away to report your observations.
